MAN-X (Ohm Phanphiroj x Lope Navo) 5

"My most ambitious endeavour veers away from fashion, delving into a documentary spotlighting underage prostitution in Thailand—a socially significant exploration of life’s choices and consequences. With Bruno Gmünder, I’ve published a total of 18 books, seven of which are solo efforts." MAN-X tracked the award-winning filmmaker Ohm Phanphiroj, popular for photographing men, his works deal with controversial issues including sexuality, identity, gender roles, age, and contemporary male nude. Art Journalist Lope Navo jumped out of Thai Airways into the very thick of the hornet’s nest in Feb 2024 for a day to interview one of Bangkok’s unhidden treasures.

In this May-Jun 2024 of MAN-X ‘Sex, Boys, Bangkok’ we feature three editorials from Ohm Phanphiroj. We also review in this 120-pages some of the sexiest photobooks today by Tom Ford, Paul Freeman, Bob Mizer, Slava Mogutin, Phil Dlab, and Joe Lally.
